Example: a compiler for a small imperative language

The primary objective of this section is to consider the traditional compiler writing techniques in the framework of Refal Plus. These techniques are applied to a compiler for a small imperative language.

Illustrative though this compiler may be, it exceeds in size all other example programs dealt with in the book, and consists of several modules.

• The Source Language
  
• The Target Language
  
• The General Structure of the Compiler
  
• The Modules of the Compiler and their Interfaces
  
• The Main Module
  
• The Scanner
  
• The Parser
  
• The Code Generator
  
• The Dictionary Module
